Chairperson Steven Eklund presented certificates to School Board Clerk Zane Braund and Vice Chair Robert Hughes and thanked them for their years of service to the district.

Chair Eklund went on to tell Mr. Hughes how much he was appreciated for being the “watchdog” on financial matters and making sure our “t’s were crossed and our i’s dotted.” Mr. Hughes thanked the board and told them how much “he has enjoyed giving back to the district, and working with the board and administration.”

Chair Eklund thanked Mr. Braund for his expertise and understanding when it came to negotiations and his understanding of the business process. He also thanked Mr. Braund and his wife, Jonelle, for the “thousands of hours” they donated to the district over the years. Mr. Braund told the board thank you for a school that “instilled values in their four children and for being the parent in many ways. As a school, you taught them sportsmanship, leadership, and friendship. You taught them how to learn, how to learn.”
